Uddhav Thackeray’s Faction Clashes With CM Eknath Shinde’s Faction Over Dussehra Rally

Mumbai, 1st September 2022: Amid the political tension in Maharashtra, there has been a tussle between the two factions of Shiv Sena. On one side there is a faction of Uddhav Thackeray and on the other hand Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Both factions are preparing for the upcoming Dussehra rally. The rally will be held at Shivaji Park in Dadar. Since 1966, the Shiv Sena has been holding a Dussehra rally here every year.

Both factions are claiming to be the original Shiv Sena. The application has been submitted to BMC on 22nd August on behalf of Uddhav Sena. Uddhav Thackeray’s faction has sought permission to organize a rally at Shivaji Park on October 5.

Uddhav Thackeray said, “There will be no change in the schedule of the rally. Whatever happens, there will be a rally at Shivaji Park.”

BMC has not yet taken any decision on Uddhav Thackeray’s application. According to reports, the Shinde Sena is planning to hold its own Dussehra rally.
